The quest had a pretty good momentum going for a while. Then that week before Christmas, on that Monday and especially the Tuesday after the last combat, Brie got pissy at Posey for... existing, I guess, and went on an unending diatribe. Just when I had hoped that Dark Star was posting and I could pay attention to him instead it was Posey deciding to spam the thread with endless "sneed spam." Because that's what we need. Spam. Just like the russian bot posts except 10+ posts while I'm at work rather than just one or two. Anyways, all of this drama happened while I was trying to work, and it damn near caused me to have a nervous breakdown. Basically I was put in the position of Skylar in this video. It got so bad that my parents asked me if I was okay when they saw me, as they heard me muttering "shut up" to myself.

But the problem with that is that Stellaris is very addictive, and when you start you can't easily stop. So the momentum was lost for those free days before Christmas, and then I was out of country for more than a week, and then work was hard last week, and basically I'm not back in the groove.
I really am unsure about quite a few decisions. Narrative, combat, how to handle things... It's easy for me to be demoralized. This is the first big quest since 2020, and the first multi person quest at all since 2022... Actually, I've had the idea since 2022... I don't know. I want things to go well, but don't always know how to do that.
So yes, I was upset when Brie's player is out of character criticizing another player for trying to actually play the game. And this is another thing. Brie loves to focus on what other players do and criticize them for it. Not in character. Sometimes it's valid and sometimes it isn't. Either way just shut the fuck up and let people play the game, Jesus. Focus on your own damn character and let Silver talk. It's not like I was going to force the whole group into combat at 10 PM anyways. What did you think would happen?
And then losing the millennial post... any time I looked at the thread and thought "maybe I should get back to it" I look at the thread, see that it's on the wrong number, and the enthusiasm just dies.
Also stop the fucking post spam. We're more than 1/10th of the way into this thread's miserable life already and nothing at all has happened. Holy hell
>>187076>it's better if you articulate why you disagree with his point than imply that it's faulty without addressing whyNo, and I'm not sorry. Sometimes an expression of emotion is really just an expression of emotion. Sometimes emotions just need to be expressed. The post just came off as rude and offensive in multiple parts. I know that because I was pissed off everything I read is going to be offensive, but with this player specifically this is a consistent issue. This player, every single night, wants to have some kind of correction "They wouldn't use American trucks" or "there should only be one cathedral in a city and not two" or "You can freeze to death at 40 degrees" (when I say that shivering was caused by mental degradation and not the cold) and this is so consistent that any time we play, I can expect that he'll post two+ hours after things have started, and there's going to be some sort of correction like that somewhere. Normally this is the kind of thing that I can just suffer but... Have you ever seen the film
Falling Down? There's a thousand things that we all suffer every day in normal life, but after we've already snapped... You just feel like pulling a submachine gun at MacDonalds when they won't serve breakfast, or shooting a rocket launcher at the obvious make-work never-ending construction site. The tone he used really did piss me off, and I wasn't going to suffer it. Am I making any sense? No? Moving on.
Also, what was I to say to the substance of what he said? He made his point rather clearly. 1. He didn't think his character did anything wrong given how things were set up (Maybe it's on me for not including his in that category of 'character's that didn't piss me off', since I don't think he really did), and second and more importantly 2. He'd rather his character suffer any failure than have any correction. Okay. Fair enough. The only question left to be asked is, do others feel that way?
>>187183>In terms of acceptability stealing ranks below killing party members.This is retarded, and I don't care if you don't understand why this is retarded.
As for stealing the crown,
1. Posey has not demonstrated that she can be trusted with a cursed crown any more than Brie can with explosives or Silver with your daughter
2. After getting the crown, Posey then wanted to refuse to negotiate any kind of agreement where it counts as a decent potion of her share... really? She just expects to get it as pure profit for herself without the rest of the party getting something in compensation? My brother in Christ, this is how you get conspired against and stolen from by the party
(You) stole the crown from
3. Posey would have no way to know how it was lost, as these things could absolutely fall out of the bag, be stolen by one of the ethereal jaunters, stolen by one of the non-ponies in the group, or any number of such sources. Anything to the contrary is just metagaming
Don't be a faggot and you won't be stolen from
>It's what my character would do!Your character is about to be pickpocketed twice in the same day
>>187204And will you shut the fuck up about how much you hate Posey. We get it. You hate Posey because reasons. You made that point 3 months ago. We understand. You've said that already. You've posted maybe already a thousand posts about how much you hate Posey. You've killed multiple threads saying it. Okay. We hear you. We've heard you. Now shut the fuck up. Jesus Christ.
